A plush forest of leafy and kitchen rich aromas, bold and unique flavors, construct every ounce of this woodsy and insanely hopped'n'aged brew - the unoaked version of this triple strength IPA clocks in somewhere around a theoretical 150 IBU's. At such levels, hop flavor becomes less about mouth burning bitter bite and more about oily aromatic hop essence. In this offering, extreme hoppage is a rich and beautiful thing, though light-years removed from your common IPA varietal. This rare elixir would be fantastic sipped and savored towards the end of an epic meal, as the accompaniment to a second-dessert course, an artisanal cheese plate or if you're so inclined - an after dinner cigar.
